" Reasons in Favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scriptures. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1819. " The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the revealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of them is it no leas the interest than it is the duty of every reasonable being to adopt— cannot admit of a doubt. In such a case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary inconvenience, which ought not for a. moment to weigh against the permanent and incalculable advan tages attendant on such a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and, I trust, a well-founded hope, that those who gcvern our Church and State, they may be pleased to take the matter into consideration, and direct an immediate revisiou of our Received Version, or, what might perhaps be more recommend able, a New Translation of the Original Text."—Extracts.

" In 1652, a little before the Parliament, which had sat so long, was turned out of doors by the arbitrary power of General Cromwell, on April 20, 1653, they had made an ' Order,' that a Bill should, be brought in for a new Translation of the Bible out of the Original Tongue," p . 354. (Elijah) shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the Ara bians to supply thee there." V. 6.—" There the Arabians brought for him bread and flesh in the morning," &c. Job, c. i. v. 6.—The Bishop of London begins his note by ob serving. " This is a bold variation from the generally admitted sense of the Hebrew paraphrase ; but I am convinced after the •most mature consideration, that the conception of the passage is no less just, than it is original. It certainly is defensible upon the strongest ground." " It is a bold variation, and I'am (new translator) constrained to observe, that the conception of the passage is neither Just, nor Ori ginal, and that it is not Defensible." Job xxxix. 19.—" Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder ?" In this verse we have one of the finest similies I have ever met with in any author, ancient or modern ; the greatest beauties in Homer, Virgil, or Milton, are as far below it as to propriety of application, or elegance of expression, as the Supreme Speaker is above the person addressed. The Bishop of London is willing to admit that Rangmaah means " the thunder," but he says, " is not this one of those noble and sublime expressions, of which one dares not question the meaning? other wise, it may be asked, how can a can a neck be clothed with thun der ?" That the passage is " noble and sublime" must he allowed ; but we cannot suppose that the Sacred Scriptures, which God has given for a rule of life, are given in such " noble and sublime" lan guage, that we are not to question, or endeavour to understand their meaning ; what idea can we form of the" noble and sublime," if its meaning be unintelligible ? That which cannot be understood can neither be noble nor sublime. Now, as the lightning precedes, and by its swiftness and power is the cause of the thunder, which it necessarily draws with it, so the swiftness and power of the horse is in this striking tnetaphor,compared to the lightningelor the swiftness and power with which he rushes into the battle, described in this chapter, dragging after him the iron war-chariots, with which they fought in those days, the noise of which is in this pas sage compared to the thunder."—P. 212.—The Classical Journal, No. 5. Jerome's Version.-2 Kings, c. v., v. 18.—" In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master cometh into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on , my hands, and I do bow myself in the house of Rimmon ; when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing." _ - _ _ _ . CONTRACT FOR WORKS. Notice is hereby given, that the Directors of the Nr..anchestor and Birmingham Railway Company, will MEET at their Offices, No. 23, Bond-street, Manchester. on WEBNZSDAT, the 'l6th January, 1839, at Twelve. o'clock at Noon, to RECEIVE TENDERS for Contract No. 6, or Congleton Viaduct Contract. To make and maintain the Bridge or Viaduct over the river Dane, the northerly end of which is to be situate in a field, marked on the Parliamentary plan as No. 81, in the township of Hulme Wallfield, in the County of Chester ; and the southerly endof which is to be situate about two chains distant from the south side of the road leading from Congleton to Westfields, being in the field, marked on the said plan No. 53, in the township of Congleton, in the said county. The length of the viaduct will be about 3,078 feet, and its greatest height about 98 feet 6 inches from the river to 'the rails. Drafts of the contract, with plans and specifications, will be ready for inspection on and after the 28th instant, at the offices of the En gineers-in-Chief, Store.street, Manchester.

The Directors will not consider themselves bound to accept the lowest tender; And they expect the several parties tendering, or persons duly authorised by them, to be in attendance at the offices is Bond-street, Manchester, at the time of meeting. (Signed) THOMAS ASHTON, Chairman. Manchester and Birmingham Railway Office, 23, Bond-street, Manchester. " Of all the crafty inventions of the Devil to mislead and seduce mankind, this perversion (Unitarianism) of the Holy Scriptures is the most efficacious : it is rearing the standard of falsehood against the revelation of Heaven (addressed to the Bishops of Durham and Norwich); it is overthrowing the altars of the Most High, and worshipping the molten calves of our own setting up ; it is poisoning the fount of truth, and converting its pure and sacred streams into corruption and death." " If these be new Texts for Socinianism, the Sociniass may preach upon them as long as they please without much apprehen sion of danger." " I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as altoge ther undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as a vehi cle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has affected to give an additional weight, by ostentztiously announcing himself in his title-page, as ' Keeper of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Re cords,' and by dating his preface from The Library, Lambeth Palace.'

" Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and .with it the whole of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our \ authorised translation and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and unsatisfac tory performance, was never obtruded on the public." " The charge of Socianism is a mere stale hacknied trick of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to the paltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby escaping from the effect of arguments, v!hich they are incapable of answering. Does not he know that it .cas emploled against Le Clerc? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our immortal Locke ? If such artifices were used against men of their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a more liberal treatment." " Some may say, Let us introduce no change, for we cannot tell what further changes may be required of us.'—Had this been listened to, neither the Reformation nor the Revolntion could have taken place, and we should have been still subject to Romish super stition, and to despotic power." " dri the side of those who advocate the necessity ot, a New Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let not these be counteracted by less worthy considerations ; let us not leave to the enemies of Christianity the only weapons by which it can be assailed ; but let us cordially and sincerely unite with the learned and pious prelate Archbishop Newcombe, in the prayer with which he concludes his preface, May the all-wise God, in His fit time. dispose the Sovereign of the first Protestant Churches, and of the most learned countries in the world, to complete his true acts of piety, by promoting equal attention to the English Bible !"—Extracts.

" If all cannot be of one mind, this doubtless is more wholesome, more prudent, and more Christian, that many be tole rated rather than compelled. I mean not tolerate Popery and open superstition, which, as it extirpates all religion and civil supremacy —so itself should be extirpated—provided first that all due means be used, to win and regain the weak and misled. They are the troublers, they are the dividers of Unity, whonegleet and permit not others to unite those dissevered pieces, which are wanting to the body of truth. To be still searching what we know —not, by what we know, still closing up truth to truth as we find it, (for all her body is homogenous and proportional), this is the golden rule in theology as well as in arithmetic, and makes up the best harmony in a Church ; not the forced and outward union of cold and neutral, and inwardly divided minds."—Areopagetica ; or, a Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing : Milton. House of Lords, Monday, Feb. 25, 1828.—" Numerous petitions were presented from the Dissenters, praying for the repeals of the Corporation and Test Acts, and from the Dissenters, praying also the concession of the Popish Claims."—Herald, Feb 26, 1828. See the Examiner, Sunday, March 9, 1838, under the head of Ob servations on some of the Causes of Dissent from the Church— __ " The devotional austerity exhibited in the Monastery of La Trappe, as in many others, would be unaccountable, if ages of ex perience did not teach us that enthusiasm in matters of religion is as much a disease of the mind as fever and atrophy are diseases of the body. The gloom of the modern Methodists is the same cast, but there is Method in their madness. There is a mixture of cun ning and hypocrisy in the character of the majority, which those who mix with them soon detect, and the progress of knowledge among the common people at home has driven them to foreign missions, where ignorance has a better field for imposture." The Editor's notice of Lady Wortley Montague's Letters.—The Guide, No. 47 " The greatest curse which ever lighted on the earth never pro • duced consequences more deplorable than have been produced by the doctrines of Calvinism. The worst contagion that ever withered the energy, and bowed the strength of the human frame, is not to be compared with the prostration of mental rigour, and of moral into grity, produced by the infection of that cant and self-pride and fanaticism which is making such rapid strides amongst us."—. Editor. _ _ If all circumstances," says the authoress, " left it as matter of doubt whether Evangelical influence, as it is impiously called, were productive of evil, the terrible power which it is so constantly seen to have of destroying family union, must be quite sufficient to settle flee question. Any person who will take the trouble to inquire into the fact, will find that family affection has been more blighted and destroyed by the workings of this fearful superstition than by any other cause of which the testimony of man bears record."

At a time when we had two publications (the enduring produce of immortal mind !) in active circulation amongst us—two chivalrous editor's promoting and diffusing " the bright intelligence" contained, to the hamlets of the empire—then for an Archbishop of Canter bury to appear as one of the Lords on the Commission for giving the Royal Assent to the " Dissenters' Declaration Bill"—(Morning Herald) —it makes what is enjoined by the immortal bard impera tive—" for the people to re-assume the ill-deputed care of their 'religion into their own hands again." " The differences amongst ourselves furnish those whom we would attempt to convert, with this plausible, and to them, I fear, unan swerable argument, with what face can you Christians attempt to make us converts to your faith, when you have not yet decided amongst yourselves what Christianity is? Surely it will be time enough to make proselytes of others when you yourselves are agreed." —Lacon, or Many Things in Few Words ; addressed to those who think. _ . . ...... " He, who by a diligent and faithful examination of the original records, dismisses from the system one article which contradicts the apprehension, the experience, or the reasoning of mankind, does more towards recommending the belief, and, with the belief, the in fluence of Christianity to the understandings and consciences of serious inquirers, and through them to Universal reception and au thority, than can be effected by a thousand contenders for creeds and ordinances of human establishment."—Paley. " The heads of houses at Oxford, are not so obtuse of mind as not to see that if the privileges and pos sess i o ns, gradually and im perceptibly accumulated by them, were brought into collision and contest with the awakened perception and increasing strength of mind of the community at large, their interest must be deeply involved in the struggle. . that if Oxford were brought within three hour's journey from London, that instead of the reverential few who now come within their halls, like pilgrims, to worship and admire, that the busy eye of inquiry might be induced to ask how came it that when, monas teries were suppressed, that such establishments were maintained as those of Oxford and Cambridge, with monastic discipline and rites, where celibacy was enforced by statutes, am id other rem nants of monkery, the relics of" . .

" * Mr. Bellamy, in a very conclusive performance, the Anti deist, does not attempt to parry the weapon, so much as to disarm the hand that wields it ; for he does not explain away the objections that have been advanced by the Deist, but he labours rather to ex tirpate them, and to show that they have no other root but miscon ception or mistake. Should this author's emendations turn out correct, they should be adopted, as no time and no authority can con secrate error. Mr. Bellamy has met with patronage in the very highest quarter—a patronage liberal in every sense of the word; and as honourable to the patron as the author." " His alterations, I admit, are extremely numerous, important, and consequential, but they are supported by a mass of erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand our most serious attention, and many, in common with myself, willlament that they have drank more freely at the stream, than at the fountain." " We hail the march of intellect, because we know—that a reason that is cultivated, is the best support of a worship that is pure. , It is for those who thrive by the darkness to hurl their anathemas against the diffusion of light ; but wisdom like a pure : and bright conductor,i.can render harmless the brutum fulmen' of the Vatican." -- T Lacon, Colton. " Surely the elevated patronage which this New Translation has deservedly obtained, should operate as a general example and in citement.

Note.—" Therefore the tower, with his top or domelike heaven, can have no other application than to the figure of the heaven, with the heavenly bodies, the idols which they worshipped the primary one, as observed, being the sun, i.e. an image representing the sun : the sacred writer uses the masculine pronoun rosho, his head.

We repeat our entreaty to his Majesty the King of Prussia, as " wisdom, like a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the 4 brutum fulmen' of the Vatican, by fallowing the precedent of the illustrious dead—to give the Italian priest' a similar denial. " The last ten years have brought with them a century's strength to the Roman Catholic cause in Ireland. To win back heretical England to the Romish fold, is undoubtedly, the great, the ultimate object of the Irish Roman Catholic party. Let those who dread such a result, bestir themselves forthwith to subvert a policy, of which, that result must prove a necessary consequence."—Herald, Oct. 5, 1838.

The battle array which we present, in promoting and defence of just immunities—is the combination of " master minds," "the death less part of some who died too soon;" not fifteen thousand fighting men ! which most ennobles a nation ? "Papacy (' that infallibility Both so hedge it in') like Pedantry, prides herself on being wrong by rules ; would rather stumble in following the dead, than walk upright by the profane assistance of the living.

MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—By the adviees from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13.9 k., and the exchange at Hamburgh on Lon don at short being 13. 3i, it follows that gold is 2.66 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. Mid., the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 35., and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 25, it fol lows that gold is 0.44 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per cent. in favour of England. In the early part of the day there was some animation in the funds, and Consols improved slightly to 94, but closed at 93i to 4. Bank Stock was 202 i to 3 ; India Stock, 261 - to 2i. Exchequer-bills, 6.55. to 675. ; India Bonds, 625. premium. There was more business doing in the foreign house than for some time past. The prospect of a new French Mi nistry, thought to be more favourable to Belgium and Spain, had an effect on the Securities of those countries. Belgian advanced to 99 to 1. Spanish Active, with the May coupons, improved to 16, to -8- ; Portuguese 5 per Cents. to 80 to ; the 3 per Cents., 19-4 1 to 20 ; Brazilian were 76 1 :1 to 74 ; Mexican, 22 to 3 ; Colombian, 251 to 6.

HERA L D.—The great increase in the sales of cotton at Liverpool has excited much attention here, both as re gards an investigation into the primary cause of this parti cular speculation and its future results. It appears by the late commercial accounts from Liverpool that the specula tion in this particular staple has been immense. On Satur day last the sales amounted to between 10,000 and 12,000 bales at rather advanced rates ; and that on Monday the like operations were carried on to about the same extent ; and as these speculations for some time have been carried on progressively in the same ratio, which is much beyond the manufacturing power of consumption as well as the ge neral demand, a strong opinion prevails amongst the com mercial men that a great portion of the late purchases of cotton will be thrown again upon the market. Be this, however, as it may, it only establishes the ability of Mr. Biddle in creating a new means of paying the commercial debts of the United States community, by taking the great bulk of the United States cotton trade into his own hands, or, rather, in absorbing by means of an extensively ramified but novel banking operation the export trade in that staple, which formerly was subdivided amongst smaller branches of the American commercial community ; an example which has been, in fact, partially followed by a few of the American monopolists ; it is, however, very questionable whether this new mode of throwing the produce of the United States upon our market will eventually prove be neficial to our commercial interests, particularly when it is considered that these speculations have been carried on in the face of larger importations this year than appears by comparison with those of the last year, and that the cotton crop of the United States for the current year is esti mated at 1,600,000 bales. The private advices which have been received from the United States this day do not add to the information which has already appeared in this Journal ; but, at the same time, they fully confirm them. Some of the commercial letters from Paris express some anxiety respecting the state of the Money Market in that city, which has been somewhat deranged by the late failure of the Banque Belgique. Great exertions have been made there to sustain public credit ; nevertheless it appears that the Bank Lafitte had been partially run upon. The Bank of France has, however, promised assistance to the extent of 1 3,000,000 of francs. This circumstance had caused the shares of that institution to decline about 320 francs per stare in two or three days, yet it is anticipated that the aid thus promptly granted will restore the public confi dence. The chief feature in the Money Market is the fact that the premium upon Exchequer Bills has advanced to-day to 65 a 67 premium, an indication that money is temporarily rather easier for commercial purposes. On the Stock Ex changethis has been almost a h o lid a y, th e t ransac ti ons been so very limit e d ; th e mar k e t, however, has having closed wi th rather mor e firmness than on Monday. Con sols left off at 93 - a 94 for the opening, the Three-and-a- Half per Cent. Reduced Annuities at 100 k a 4 for Mo ney, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 101 i for the opening. On India Bonds the premium is 62, and Bank Stock is nominally 2021 a 203 Money. In the Foreign Bonds little has been done, but the mar ket is steady. Spanish Bonds, with the May Coupons, are l(;4 and the Deferred 7 a Portuguese New Five per Cents are 30 a 4 ; the Three per Cent, ditto arc 19i a 20. Belgian Bonds are 991; Danish are 741 al, Dutch arc 54a a - 1 1-, and the Old Five per Cents. 100 al.
